My advisor as a "GOOD EXAMPLE"

Today was entertaining. Charlotte and I "stole" the university truck for the purpose of moving a bed from New Orleans to Slidel. There is a new Chinese researcher, who speaks little English and has no furniture, so the bed was for him. Technically the university vehicles are only for research or departmental work, which is why we had to "steal" it. The department is very strict about what the vehicles are used for, if the main campus finds out that they are ever used for non-departmental work they would probably be taken away:(

We were about half way to New Orleans when Charlotte looked at me and said "Here I go again, making you do things you are supposed to do." On previous excursions we have trespassed on private property (we wanted a sample from the marsh), parked in numerous no-parking zones, been locked into private boat docks (it was open when we got there, we didn't know you needed a key to access the area), pretended we were not strong enough to carry the big carboys to and from the boat (isn't that what deck hands are for), charged alcohol to the university credit card (they didn't itemize the ticket so, "how will they know"), and played dumb "we didn't know it was private property", and I am sure there is more that's just all I can think of off the top of my head. And for whatever reason Charlotte's husband (a geochemist in the department) thinks that we are going to get into trouble every time we go out. GO FIGURE!!
